    Summary

    James slid to the floor across from him. It came with the easiness of familiarity that rooted itself deep into the body. Memories locked in muscle. They’d sat like this countless of times; a stance reserved for drunken nonsense after a long night out, for confessions, for musings and fears, for pockets of comfortable silence, for nothing but the radio.

    This was the James from back then—perpetually sun-soaked, worry-less James—who handed out his little mercies and bathed you in light.

    Regulus leaves his parents at 17, finding shelter with Sirius at the Potters' home somewhere along the rocky shores of Devon. What follows are the good years, then the unspeakable ones, and then, inexplicably—like a roach, a true Black—Regulus comes out the other end alive.

    He just doesn't expect to stumble into the easy solace of James Potter and his five-year-old son.

    Summary

    Complete! <3 (Edits made Feb 2024, bonus story added August 2024)

    The Black family and the Potter family grew-up spending their summers at neighboring lake houses a few hours off the East Coast. Then one summer, James Potter stopped coming. Regulus can admit he was a little disappointed when his first crush suddenly disappeared from his life. But it's been seven years. He's clearly over it.

    That is until his last summer before starting college, when that same golden-skinned boy steps out of the car, grown and beautiful, and crashes back into Regulus' world.

    Some works that inspired this fic:
    -The entire Lover album by Taylor Swift (Specifically Cruel Summer and Daylight)
    -The novel Every Summer After by Carley Fortune
    -The Summer I Turned Pretty Series
    -The song Lakehouse by Of Monsters and Men

    Summary

    "Sirius, what's going on? Where are you? Are you hurt? Are you safe?"

    The questions hurt his brain - he couldn't decide what to focus on. Which question would James think was more useful? Which one did he want Sirius to answer? Probably all of them, if he had asked them all. But he couldn't give all the answers right now, so which question did James want answering the most?

    "I'm-," Sirius decided to pick the easiest question, the one with the simplest answer, "I'm in the bathroom."

    "The bathroom?" Came James' quick reply. He was moving. Pacing, most likely. James did that when he was nervous or restless. Sirius ached to think of how many times he had caused that. "Why are you in the bathroom?"

    "I did something bad, Jamie."

     

    Or, where Sirius messes up, but he reaches out in time.

    Summary

    Sirius Black knew the taste of blood well. In his sixteen years of life, there was hardly a taste he knew better. Regardless, knowing something is not the same as liking it.

    Summary

    "Baby Black, do you maybe not hate me?" James joked in a way that made Regulus feel uncomfortable.
    "You are the most annoying person I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. And that says a lot considering the absolute gems I've met in Slytherin."
    "A joke. Regulus Black made a joke. A mean one, at my expense, but a joke nonetheless... You know baby Black, we could be friends."
    "I would rather fling myself off the Astronomy Tower..."

    ***
    Or: Regulus is concerned about Sirius after their mother orchestrates a horrible attack. And with Sirius out of reach he relies on James Potter to know his brother is okay. Except their meetings keep happening, and their conversations keep falling away from Sirius. Falling for James Potter might just be the most reckless thing he's ever contemplated.
